    I may be wrong here, but @Rufus D`Asperdi might be a little more forward thinking in his question, and not merely asking about TODAY'S livestream, but maybe asking if the active (not just new) subscriptions will be counted in FUTURE livestreams...

    If counted in future, need to know how they will do it. Will everyone be charged on the same day, and that day counts for that month's telethon? If different days, which, exactly, days of the month, only, counts towards that month's telethon?

    They should have put in this optional subscription some time ago. I think it will definitely help with their cash-flow. I just wish there was a 12 month special item for people who keep subscribed for that long (e.g. special deco, instrument, outfit, etc.).

    I've signed up. Having just recently (after 20 years) letting my UO subscription(s) lapse, and really enjoying myself in SotA lately but not having spent anything since the EARLY days (Kickstarter, then later incrementing my support level up to Citizen) yet still wanting to support the game; it's come along as a reasonably affordable option.

    Subscribed. I asked for this ages ago too. Perfect for those of us who live in unpopular time zones.

    That would effectively set the value of COTOs at $0.35 each, and make a lot of people very unhappy. Not to mention completely unbalancing the economy. Not going to happen.

    Not sure why? You spend enough time on here which is just as supportive. Case in point you've just given them your two cents.

    Great work here, Portalarium. Consider me signed up on the subscription.

    Personally I haven't had the time to log in for the last month or two, which means sometimes missing telethons, so this will help me show my support without needing to be around as much! Much appreciated, keep it up!

    sub'd,
    this is a great way to get the telethon rewards - I missed a couple telethons recently due to travel.

    I subscribed as well. I have a pledge and can't really afford to do that again. $9 I can do to help support game I love. I see potential still to add so much more. I don't always like the choices and am really wishing to see changes in the way things are done.

    One main thing I want to see is that we don't get more bare bones systems.

    I ask that Things come in the game in amazing shape not years of waiting for them to get needed improvements. I want to see the long awaited fishing update get what it needs in R58.

    My example list is this:

    Fish types for all types of water in the game. Possible ideas Brook trout, cave fish, sharks, flame fish, parahnas, ice fish and ability to ice fish.

    Many bait types that catch different fish, recipes for bait and bait that can be found.

    Fish must have weight and length and fish lore when you point at them stating things about them.

    More fish recipes to include higher tier food recipes and maybe components.

    Message in a bottle can be fished up and strange things occasionally like a hand with a ring on it as a clue might be fished up (just an example);)

    Space bar reels in the fish would be nice.


    Perhaps fish can be used as a type of fertilizer

    I support this game and cannot stress enough we neef to see complete systems for the game in the quality of which this game is deserving of and that needs to be the standard for all of them in the game and coming in.

    Let's keep that in mind going forward. Completed and Quality with attention to detail in what goes into this game is key. This is how trust works and I trust we will see more focus in that area from now on. So I am giving mine.

    Sorry edited typos from my phone

    Edited again to clarify

    I asked. They count towards the livestream on the day that you subscribe, or the next one afterward. No oopsies allowed.

    The plan is to bill them every month on the same day of the month, which I think could potentially cause problems if you sign up on certain days of the month (probably 8th-14th). If you cancel, that merely stops the next billing.

    Do subscribers get a forum banner? I can block everyone who criticises the game but doesn't have one then :)

    I bet you'd get a lot more money/less salt if you didn't call it that. I don't make the rules, I just get punished for ignoring them.
